Flag Making Tutorial

This will be a more technical step-by-step tutorial on how I make my flags (also a long post because I wanted to be thorough, plus I love flags lol).

The program I use is Inkscape, a free vector (.svg) editor program for pc.

I have templates set up, so the actual flag making process is pretty easy/quick.

Hotkeys/Locations/Other Reference

I'll be mentioning these options, so I thought to put them here all in one list. (They list the keyboard shortcuts first)

Snapping: magnet symbol (top right of screen), or under the adjacent arrow ◀️ symbol.

Document properties: shift+ctrl+D, or under the file menu (top left corner of screen). Display (1st tab) Guides (2nd tab) Grids (3rd tab)

Fill and Stroke: shift+ctrl+F, or under object (top of screen).

Layers and Objects: ctrl+shift+L, or under object (top of screen).

Align and Distribute: ctrl+shift+A, or under object (top of screen).

Import (Images): ctrl+i, under the file menu, or by dragging into the Inkscape window.

Save As: ctrl+shift+S, or under the file menu.

Export: shift+ctrl+E, or under the file menu.

Selector Tool: S, or cursor symbol (left side of screen). Click, or click and drag around the objects, to select them.

Locking a selection: lock symbol between the width and height boxes at the top of the screen.

Transform Selections: the width/height and x y position can be changed by typing in the X,Y,W,H boxes (near top middle of screen), or by dragging the corners/edges (resize) and inside the object (move).

Duplicate: ctrl+D.

Delete: delete key, or right click on the object.

Node Tool: N, or below the selector tool (left side of screen).

Rectangle Tool: R, or square symbol (left side of screen).

Pen Tool: B, or pen symbol (left side of screen).

Gradient Tool: G, gradient square symbol (left side of screen).

Mesh Tool: swirly square symbol (left side of screen).

Dropper Tool: D, or dropper symbol (left side of screen).

Undo: ctrl+Z.

Redo: ctrl+Y.

Creating the Template

Download Inkscape and open it, under the Time to Draw tab, click New Document.

First, snapping needs to be enabled, and under advanced mode enable grids and guide lines snapping. (This is crucial for making the stripes equally sized, spaced, and the overall flag in the right ratio.)

I'll be making a template with a 2:3 flag ratio.

Open document properties. (I like to move these types of windows to the right side.)

Under display, set the width to 42px and height to 28px.

Under guides, just click create guides around the current page.

Under grids, make sure rectangular grid is selected, and click new. (Grid units should be in px.) For the major grid line every option, change it to 2. (I also prefer to change the minor grid line color to be transparent.)

That's pretty much it, your template is done :D ! Just save it wherever you want. I like putting it in an easy-to-access flag folder, as it is needed to open it every time to make new flags.

You can use a different width / height / grid size / flag ratio if you want, these are just the numbers I'm comfortable with / used to.

Also, since this is a vector, the image can be infinitely big or small without any quality loss, so the small dimensions above don't actually translate to a low res image.

Creating the Flag

(I'll be using the rainbow flag to demonstrate.)

Start by having the template open.

You can import images (like .png/.jpg files) to color pick / reference if you want. Said images can be transformed (resized/moved) by selecting and transforming them using the options mentioned in reference. (This is optional, they should just be off to the side so they don't get in the way.)

To create the stripes, use the rectangle tool. Click and drag from one grid corner, to a lower grid corner.

While the rectangle is selected, use the dropper tool to pick a color from a imported image. You can also use the fill and stroke (shown on right) tab to create your own colors / edit colors / etc.

You can make these stripes however you want, they just need to all be equally sized. (They don't have to all have the same height, if you intentionally want that (like the demisexual flag for example).)

Then select all the stripes and transform them so that they fit the page.

All that's left is to save/export it.

To export it, use the export tab, under single file, page, adjust the width and height (in px) to however high res you want your image to be. (I usually do 3000 by 2000.)

Type in the desired file name in the box next to the folder symbol, use the folder symbol to choose its export location (which can also be used to determine the file name and save/export it), the adjacent drop-down-menu to select what to save it as (,png, .jpg, .svg, etc.), and the gear symbol to adjust other settings (I leave it as default, with antialias turned off (set to 0)).

And done, you've made a flag :D 🏳️‍🌈

Extra Notes

Layers and Objects: a menu that can be used to manage objects. Like their layering position (whether they are above or below another object), and other options can also be done here instead of with keyboard shortcuts.

Vertically striped flags: it's very similar to above. You would just make the rectangles taller rather than wider.

Wavy stripes: first use the pen tool to create zigzags. (The pen tool works like a outline, so just click along the grid corners, and join the line at the end. The fill and stroke menu can be used to make it a solid colored shape, and remove/add outlines). The steepness/frequency of the zigzags is up to personal preference, they just need to extend off the page a bit. To create equally sized wavy stripes, have the all side lengths (highlighted in red) be equal except (depending on how you draw your zigzags) the first or last wave, which should have half the side length of the others.

Select everything, and with the node tool, select all the zigzag nodes (the corners don't need to be selected), and click make selected nodes smooth (half circle with point in middle symbol, at top of screen). (It'll likely look like it has weird lines in-between the waves, see glitch section at the end for how to fix that.)

Then resize it all to the height of the canvas. And done :)

This can of course be vertical too.

Gradients: You can use the fill and stroke dialogue, gradient tool, or mesh tool to do this.

To create the gradient, select the object, click the linear gradient symbol (gradient box) under fill and stroke. Or dragging / double clicking with the gradient/mesh tools. (The mesh tool is what I used to create the square gradient.)

To change the colors, click on the arrows or circles under fill and stroke, or by clicking the points on the shape, to select the nodes. Then use fill and stroke to change the colors.

To create new colors/stops, click on the plus+ symbol under stops (under fill and stroke), or double click on the gradient. Edit the new colors in fill and stroke again.

To change the location of stops, use stop offset under fill and stroke, or drag the nodes on the gradient. You can also move the end points on the object to make the gradient slanted or vertical.

Symbols: I make my own when I can (like the demi- triangle can be drawn with the pen tool, and resized to the correct proportions). When the symbol is too complicated, I import a .svg of it. Wikimedia commons is a great resource, and the popular twemoji comes in .svg format too. You could also edit it on over the .png in a rastor program if need be.

The align and distribute tab can be used to center symbols (or any other selected object). Select page for the relative to option, and use the symbols underneath to center/align it however you want. (You can also use different relative to options, like last selected, if you want to align it to an object instead.)

Deleting imported reference images: you can do this before saving it as a .svg, if you don't want to keep them / want to clean up the .svg file.

Antialiasing: an option that blurs things basically. A image with antialiasing off will be sharp pixels, while a image with antialiasing on will have transition colors between the main colors.

Below is an example. The left side is without antialiasing, and the right side is with antialiasing.

I can see why it might be preferable to have it on (like for diagonal shapes), but antialiasing can make recoloring .png (not .svg) files hard. The extra different colors messes with fill tools. I also think it looks cleaner without, so I prefer it off.

Exporting glitch: sometimes an exported image will have a thin line between the stripes, despite the fact the stripes are perfectly next to each other. (This seems to not just be a problem with Inkscape, but with vectors in general.)

Below is a zoomed in example of what it'd look like. The left side shows the stripes are all next to each other, but the right image has a transparent line in-between the stripes.

This can be fixed a number of ways.

You could select all the objects, and duplicate them twice.

Or overlap them. The stripes will still be the same size when overlapped, but they will technically be behind each other, so there will be no gap.

With all the different stuff mentioned, you can basically think of them as building blocks with the grid as reference. They can all be mixed and matched together.

I didn't mention all the options, just because there's that many different things you can do in Inkscape. I'd encourage you to play around with all the different options/tools yourself.

There's also some great Inkscape guides on YouTube, it's where I learned how to do a lot of this from (even if they're not for flags specifically, the concepts in those videos can be applied to flags).

Here's an overly elaborate flag I made, just to demonstrate some (but not all) of the things that can be done.

Anyways what a long post haha. But maybe this will be helpful for anyone interested in making (pride) flags.

Harpy Eda Progress (random stuff because wow this project has been pure chaos)

Progress has been made but it’s all over the place since I’m procrastinating willingly on some things and forced to wait on others. So here is a bit progress update of random stuff

1. Wig

I bought a lace front in gray from Arda Wigs and one of their long white clip-on ponytails. I crimped both the ponytail and the wig, dismantled the ponytail’s mesh base, and took out the white wefts to glue them onto the main wig. Then I went back and teased almost the entire wig and steamed it to tone down the flyaways. I actually went through the spiking process twice because I hated the first version and didn’t account for the ears. (First version on the left, semi final version on the right)

2. Ears

I have tiny baby ears so I wasn’t sure I could find prosthetics in my size that weren’t custom made (aka expensive). So naturally I decided to spend a lot of time- and some money- to make them myself. I went through the long process of live-casting my ears with alginate (the goopy stuff they use to take tooth impressions at the dentist) and made a plaster cast of my small baby ears. I did a sculpt with Monster Clay and did a second alginate mold and plaster cast to have a nice base for the final latex ears. For the actual ears, these are liquid latex tinted with white acrylic paint and they are brushed/dabbed onto the base ears in thin layers. After 15-20 layers, I have to apply a stupid amount of baby powder to keep the latex from sticking to itself, and then I can carefully peel them off the plaster masters. They just get glued on with Prosaide afterwards and are pretty comfortable to wear.

3. Feathers

I have been in Adobe Illustrator hell creating feather SVGs for the laser cutter software Lightburn so that I can have a machine cut EVA foam feathers for me while I’m busy avoiding my corset mock-up by doing a full fabric stash inventory. There are five feather sizes with four variants of shapes in each size. Every feather has a red outline and dozens of detail texture lines drawn as tapered lines. These are plopped onto appropriately sized art boards that match the cutting area of the laser cutter which is 15x15 inches. Adobe also exports SVGs at 72 ppi (pixels per inch) and Lightburn treats everything as 96 ppi so I had to rescale everything. (Yes, me and the owner of the laser cutter found this through trial and error). The end result is a gorgeous bunch of feathers that I did not have to engrave by hand. There’s currently about 120 out of over 400 feathers cut so far

Everything else is still in early stages or waiting to be done after something else finishes (like the dress or corset that will support the wings’ backplate)

Whether you're a beginner or experienced designer, CorelDRAW's tools like the Shape Tool, Bezier Tool, and the Interactive Fill Tool make designing logos more intuitive.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Set Up the Document

Start by creating a new document:

Choose print or web preset

Set DPI to 300 for high resolution

Choose CMYK for print or RGB for digital projects

2. Plan Your Concept

Before designing, brainstorm your brand values and sketch rough ideas:

What does the logo need to express?

Is it abstract, typographic, or a combination?

3. Build with Basic Shapes

Use tools like the Rectangle and Ellipse Tool to form the foundation. Combine shapes using Weld, Trim, and Intersect for creative customization.

4. Add Text and Style It

Use the Text Tool to insert your brand’s name

Select fonts that reflect the personality of the brand

Convert text to curves (Ctrl+Q) to manipulate it as a shape

5. Pick a Color Scheme

Stick with 2–3 brand colors for versatility

Use the Interactive Fill Tool for gradients

Test the design in black and white for clarity

6. Align and Arrange

Use Align and Distribute for precise placement

Adobe Illustrator Classroom in a Book Chapter 15 & 16 Exercises - VCDM Visual Literacy: Elements of Design, Color and Typography

Chapter 15 Review Questions

Describe the difterence between linking and embedding in Illustrator.

2. How do you show options when importing masks?

3. What kinds of objects can be used as masks?

4. How do you create an opacity mask for a placed image?

5. Describe how to replace image with another image in a document.

My Responses

A linked file is a separate, external file connected to the Illustrator file by a link. A linked file does not add significantly to the size of the Illustrator file. The linked file must accompany the Illustrator file to preserve the link and ensure that the placed file appears when you open the Illustrator file. An embedded file becomes part of the Illustrator file. The increased Illustrator file size reflects the addition of the embedded file. Because the embedded file is part of the Illustrator file, no link can be broken. You can update linked and embedded files using the Relink button in the Links panel.

2. When placing an image using the File > Place command, in the Place dialog box, select the Show Import Options option. Selecting this will open the Import Options dialog box, where you can set options before placing. In macOS, if you don't see the options in the Import Options dialog box, click the Options button.

3. A mask can be a simple or compound path, and masks (such as an opacity mask) may be imported with placed Photoshop files. You can also create layer clipping masks with any shape that is the topmost object of a group or layer.

4. You create an opacity mask by placing the object to be used as a mask on top of the object to be masked. Then you select the mask and the objects) to be masked and either click the Make Mask button in the Transparency panel or choose Make Opacity Mask from the Transparency panel menu.

5. To replace a placed image with a different image, select the image in the Links panel. Then click the Relink button (or the Relink From CC Libraries button, and locate and select the replacement image. Click Place or Relink (if you clicked the Relink From CC Libraries button).

Chapter 16 Review Questions

Describe what packaging an Illustrator document does.

2. Why do you align content to the pixel grid?

3. Describe how you export an artboard.

4. Name image file types that can be chosen in the Export For Screens dialog box and Asset Export panel.

5. Describe the generic process for exporting assets with the Asset Export panel.

My Responses

Packaging is used to gather all of the necessary pieces of an Illustrator document. Packaging creates a copy of the Illustrator file, the linked images, and the necessary fonts (if desired), and gathers those copies into a folder.

2. Aligning content to the pixel grid creates a crisp appearance at the edges of artwork. When Snap To Pixel is enabled for supported artwork, all the horizontal and vertical segments in the object are aligned to the pixel grid.

3. To export an artboard, choose file > Export > Export As or File > Export > Export for Screens. In the Export For Screens dialog box that appears, you can choose between exporting artboards and exporting assets. You can choose to export all or a specific range of artboards.

4. The image file types that can chosen in the Export For Screens dialog box and the Asset Export panel are PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, OBJ, USDA, and GLTF.

5. To export assets using the Asset Export panel, the artwork to be exported needs to be collected in the Asset Export panel. Once it's in the panel, you can select the asset(s) to be exported, set the export settings, and then export.

Figma – Excellent for UI/UX design and collaboration.

Procreate – Perfect for digital painting and illustrations.

Step 3: Gather Inspiration and Plan Your Design

Before starting, gather inspiration from online sources such as Pinterest, Behance, or Dribbble. Create a mood board to organize color schemes, typography, and layout ideas.

Sketch your ideas on paper or use wireframing tools to map out the structure of your design before you dive into software.

Step 4: Set Up Your Canvas

Open your chosen software and set the appropriate dimensions for your design. Consider:

Resolution: Use 72 DPI for digital designs and 300 DPI for print designs.

Color Mode: RGB for screens, CMYK for print.

Aspect Ratio: Make sure it suits the platform where it will be displayed (e.g., Instagram post vs. website banner).

Step 5: Create a Strong Composition

A well-balanced layout improves readability and visual appeal. Follow design principles such as:

Rule of Thirds: Place key elements along grid lines for balance.

Alignment and Spacing: Keep elements aligned and maintain consistent spacing.

Hierarchy: Emphasize important elements through size, contrast, and placement.

Step 6: Choose Colors and Typography

Colors: Use a color palette that complements your design's theme. Tools like Adobe Color or Coolors can help.

Fonts: Select readable and appropriate fonts. Use font pairings that work well together (e.g., bold headings with simple body text).

Contrast: Ensure good contrast between text and background for readability.

Step 7: Add Graphics and Visual Elements

Enhance your design with:

Icons and illustrations

High-quality images

Shapes and lines to guide the viewer’s eye Make sure these elements blend well with the overall design.

Step 8: Use Layers and Effects Wisely

Most design software allows working with layers. Organize your layers and name them for easier editing. Use effects like:

Shadows and gradients for depth

Transparency and overlays for a modern look

Blending modes to merge images creatively

Step 9: Review and Refine

Take a step back and analyze your design. Check for:

Spacing and alignment issues

Color consistency

Readability of text Ask for feedback from peers and make necessary adjustments.

Step 10: Export in the Right Format

Save your design in the appropriate format:

PNG – High quality, supports transparency.

JPEG – Smaller file size, good for web use.

SVG – Scalable vector format, ideal for logos and icons.

PDF – Best for print and document sharing.

Conclusion

Creating a digital design involves planning, creativity, and technical skills. By following these steps, you can improve your design process and produce stunning visuals for any purpose. Keep practicing, stay updated with design trends, and experiment with new techniques to refine your skills. Happy designing!

Transforming Ideas into Visuals: The Art of Creating Effective Icons

Icons customized and unique: Expert Q&A Insights

1.What is the best image size for icons?   

The best image size for icons typically ranges from 16x16 pixels to 512x512 pixels, depending on usage. Common sizes include 32x32 for web applications and 64x64 for desktop icons. For mobile apps, sizes like 48x48 and 72x72 are popular. Always consider using vector formats for scalability without loss of quality.

2. What is the difference between JPG and PNG icons?

The primary difference between JPG (or JPEG) and PNG icons lies in their respective compression methods and the quality retention of the images they produce. JPG utilizes a lossy compression technique, which significantly reduces file size by discarding some image data, ultimately sacrificing a degree of quality in the process. This format is particularly well-suited for photographs or images that contain a wide range of colors and gradients, as the loss of some detail is often imperceptible to the viewer. However, this characteristic makes JPGs less ideal for icons or graphics that require sharp edges, distinct lines, or clear contrasts, as the compression can lead to blurring and artifacts that compromise the visual integrity of the image. 3. How do I create a custom icon in Illustrator?

To create a custom icon in Illustrator, start by using the Pen Tool to draw your design. Use shapes and the Pathfinder tool to combine or subtract shapes as needed. Add colours and effects for depth. Finally, save your icon in your desired format (e.g., AI, SVG, PNG) by going to File > Save As or Export.

4. How do I make a custom icon image?

To create a custom icon image, use graphic design software like Adobe Illustrator or free tools like Canva or GIMP. Start with a square canvas, design your icon using shapes and colours, and keep it simple for clarity. Save your design in the appropriate format (like PNG or SVG) and ensure it meets size requirements for your intended use.

5. What is an icon illustration?

An icon illustration is a simplified graphic representation used to convey an idea, concept, or object clearly and quickly. Icons are often used in user interfaces, branding, and signage to enhance communication and understanding. They typically feature minimal detail and bold shapes, making them easily recognizable and effective in conveying messages immediately.

Effortless Figma to Elementor Conversion for Your WordPress Needs

When it comes to building dynamic, aesthetically appealing websites for WordPress, the integration of design tools with page builders is crucial. Figma and Elementor are two powerful platforms that, when combined, can take your web design to the next level. The process of converting Figma designs into Elementor layouts might seem daunting at first, but with the right strategies and tools, the transition from Figma to Elementor can be incredibly seamless. This guide will help you understand how to effortlessly perform a figma to elementor conversion, ensuring your website looks exactly as envisioned and functions perfectly.

Understanding Figma to Elementor Conversion

Figma is a popular design tool widely used by UX/UI designers to create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups. Elementor, on the other hand, is a drag-and-drop page builder for WordPress that allows users to build stunning websites without needing to write a single line of code. The combination of these two tools makes designing and building a website faster and more efficient.

The key to a successful Figma to Elementor conversion lies in understanding the relationship between a static design and the dynamic elements that Elementor offers. While Figma provides an accurate visual representation of how a page should look, Elementor helps translate that design into a fully functional website. With the right workflow, converting your Figma designs into Elementor pages becomes a straightforward task.

Preparing Your Figma Design for Elementor

Before diving into the actual Figma to Elementor conversion, it’s important to ensure that your Figma design is structured in a way that is compatible with Elementor. Start by ensuring that your design is clean, organized, and broken down into sections that make sense for a web page layout. Proper use of grids, alignments, and spacing in Figma will make the conversion process smoother.

Additionally, ensure that all the images, typography, and colors used in your Figma design are clearly defined. By keeping a consistent design language, you’ll save time when transferring assets into Elementor. It’s also helpful to export Figma elements like icons, logos, and images in high-quality formats that are optimized for the web. This will ensure that the design’s integrity remains intact when using Elementor.

Tools for Effortless Figma to Elementor Conversion

There are several tools available that can significantly speed up the Figma to Elementor conversion process. For instance, there are plugins that allow you to import your Figma design directly into Elementor, reducing the manual effort of recreating each element. These tools automatically map the visual elements from Figma to their Elementor counterparts, preserving the design’s layout, typography, and other key components.

Additionally, using a Figma-to-HTML converter can also streamline the conversion. This tool generates an HTML version of your Figma design, which can then be imported into Elementor as custom HTML. Once you have the design in Elementor, you can further refine it using Elementor’s advanced styling options to ensure that it matches the original Figma design.

Steps for Converting Figma to Elementor

The process of converting Figma to Elementor involves several key steps that can be broken down into manageable tasks. First, begin by preparing your design files in Figma for export. This involves ensuring that all elements are grouped and organized in layers, so they can be easily manipulated once in Elementor.

Next, export the Figma files you need, such as images, icons, and any other assets you want to keep. These files should be saved in a web-friendly format, such as PNG or SVG, ensuring that they retain their clarity and resolution when used on your WordPress website. Now, create a new page or post in WordPress and open it with Elementor. Begin the process of building your page by replicating the design structure from Figma, using Elementor’s widgets to add elements like text, images, and buttons.

For more advanced users, Elementor allows custom CSS and HTML integration, which can be used to fine-tune the design to match Figma precisely. During this stage of the Figma to Elementor conversion, be mindful of responsiveness. Make sure your design looks great on both desktop and mobile devices by utilizing Elementor’s responsive editing features.

Customizing Your Elementor Design

Once the basic structure of your page is built, it’s time to dive into the customization options that Elementor offers. Elementor’s theme builder allows you to fine-tune the design by customizing headers, footers, and even global design settings like fonts, colors, and spacing. This gives you full control over the look and feel of your website while keeping it in line with the original Figma design.

You can also take advantage of Elementor’s advanced features, such as animations, hover effects, and dynamic content. These features enable you to add interactivity and visual appeal to your website, which might not be possible with static Figma designs alone.

Testing and Refining Your Figma to Elementor Conversion

After the Figma to Elementor conversion is complete, it’s important to thoroughly test your website for functionality and visual consistency. This includes checking how it looks on different devices and browsers to ensure that your design remains responsive and fully functional across various platforms. You may need to adjust certain elements for optimal display, especially for mobile users.

Can you convert Adobe XD to HTML?

Yes, you can convert Adobe XD to HTML, but the process involves multiple steps. Adobe XD is a design tool used to create user interfaces and prototypes, while HTML is the coding language used to build websites. To convert XD designs into a functional HTML website, you generally need to:

Export Assets: Extract images, icons, and other elements from the Adobe XD file. Adobe XD allows you to export these as PNG, SVG, or JPG formats.

Write HTML & CSS: You'll need to manually code the structure of the website in HTML and style it using CSS to match the design created in Adobe XD. This also involves making the site responsive for different devices and screen sizes.

Add JavaScript (Optional): If your design includes dynamic elements like sliders or forms, you’ll need to use JavaScript to bring these functionalities to life.

However, manually converting XD designs to HTML can be time-consuming and requires a good understanding of coding. That's where services like Figma2HTML come in. Although named for Figma, Figma2HTML also specializes in converting Adobe XD designs into clean, responsive HTML/CSS code.
